Challenge

The clients operate multiple venues in this town and when they started work on their latest bar/restaurant - The Optimist, they wanted to do something different. They were keen to find a solution which effortlessly took care of key aspects of the property to give themselves and their staff more time to focus on giving their customers an incredible experience. The two main aspects of these were lighting and AV.

Solution

The venue changes from restaurant to bar to entertaining space throughout the day/evening and the huge range of different styles of lighting throughout the venue help set the scenes for these different uses. Automating these with Loxone allows the clients to know that the lighting will always be perfectly set for the time of day and occasion, without staff having to remember to do so.

A Touch Flex behind the bar allows special lighting scenes to be triggered manually, such as putting all lights on full in "cleaning mode" in the morning or for a special event using the "Birthday" and "Event" buttons.

Automating audio and video with Loxone via the Pulse Eight Neo Matrix allows the clients to effortlessly manage what is shown and heard throughout the venue. This includes the ability to remotely add and manage the content shown on video screens, such as digital menu's, upcoming events and stream live video of artists/DJ's performing in the bar downstairs. It also allows staff to turn on and off all these devices at the start and end of the day with a single tap.

We also installed PA audio and moving head stage lighting which can be turned on/off and configured remotely via 3rd-party console and DMX extension.

Quite simply because it was the best solution! We couldn't really put it better than the clients themselves.

"Our lighting and AV are fully automated. Creating perfect lighting moods and ambience for all occasions! For dining at all times of the day, to all kinds of celebrations, events and to get the fantastic atmosphere in the evenings and weekends...All at the touch of a button! - Owners, The Optimist.
